I'm flying over London
On a cold November night
The river snakes across the vast ocean of electric lights
Fast and weightless like this marvel in the sky
The young and restless skateboard in the dark beneath the closing London Eye
I'm flying over London
Looking down at busy streets
I scout to find a few familiar places looking up at me
Seven years since I first got of off this plane
And still this city doesn't know my stories or my dreams orm y first name
Someday I have to say goodbye
To the city that showed me, awoke me and broke me
Someday I have to say goodbye to London
I press against the window
My forehead cold and numb
As I search through blurry memories to trace the woman I've become
Between St. Mark, Brick Lane and Eve's Market Cafe
I found myself in pjeces
Took what I could carry and I threw the rest away
I'm flying over London
On a cold November night
Unlit parks like bullet wounds in the blanket of electric lights
The city is a living creature all on its own
And we all push like blood through its veins
So close together
So alone
Someday I have to say goodbye
To the city that thrilled me and built me and killed me
Someday I have to say goodbye to London
Someday I have to say goodbye
To the city that moved me and soothed me, confused me
Someday I have to say goodbye to London
